I Don’t Need Them Anymore — Abandoning the Family That Never Loved Me, I Find Happiness in a Neighboring Kingdom - Chapter 10

The envoy from the Rofeus Kingdom who appeared before me was the most beautiful person I had ever seen.

Though I’ve been called beautiful myself, this person was so wonderful it made me lose confidence.

I had thought Loin was wonderful too, but the man before me seemed to be on a completely different level.

Loin was the worst kind of person who betrayed Dahlia. Father wants him to be my husband, but he doesn’t love me.

Even though I was the one who approached him, I never actually wanted to be held by Loin. It was something my parents thought of, so it’s not my fault.

Besides, Loin could have just refused.

He was only chosen to be my partner because Dahlia liked him. Loin must be happy to marry me, but I belong to everyone. I never thought I’d belong to anyone.

Still, poor Dahlia. It’s too unfortunate to be disliked just for being born.

Mother says Dahlia would be happier if she weren’t in this country. In that case, I should help Dahlia escape from this nation.

Even Loin, who was supposed to be on her side, betrayed her. If Dahlia stays in this country, she’ll only suffer.

It’s not a lie that I don’t want to marry the Monster Prince. After all, someone with an ugly appearance doesn’t suit standing beside me, who is loved by so many citizens.

When I previously asked Rix if he knew anything about the Monster Prince, he answered, “I’ve heard he’s a righteous person with strong convictions who sticks to his beliefs.” If he’s a righteous person, he should be able to make Dahlia happy.

If I don’t have to leave the Yusers Kingdom, both the citizens and Father will be happy. Everyone will be happy. That’s why I let Loin hold me.

I wanted Dahlia to understand that. I planned to explain it to her when I said goodbye.

Then, the wonderful man we’d been talking about appeared before me.

He was such a captivating person that I felt I could forgive him for anything he might do to me.

I felt that I would never meet someone I found this wonderful again. He must be my destined person.

If I speak to him, he’ll surely realize it too.

He’s coming as an envoy, so he must be a high-ranking noble. Nothing stands between him and me.

If anyone tries to interfere, Father’s power can handle it.

“Um, what is your name?”

Mustering my courage, I spoke to the man sitting next to Dahlia.

He looked surprised for a moment, but then looked at me and smiled warmly.

Ah, just as I thought, he was my destined person. As I tried to take a step closer, he opened his mouth.

“I’ve come to retrieve Lady Dahlia. Please pay me no mind.”

With just that response, the envoy shifted his gaze to Dahlia as if he had no interest in me.

Why?

Why would he prioritize Dahlia over me?

This had never happened to me before, and I didn’t know how to react.
